Washtenaw County’s Conservation District’s annual fall Tree & Native Plant Sale has opened preorders through their store for local gardeners. According to the WCCD, the moist soil and cool temperatures of September and October provide conditions for better root establishment ahead of the springtime weeds.

Sales will include a selection of 5 species of conifer trees including pines, spruces, and fir. Additionally, we offer various species of native wildflowers in quart pots, many species of shrubs & berries & trees in gallon pots, and four native plant garden kits. Featured species new to this year’s sale include White meadowsweet (Spiraea alba), Tall Green Milkweed (Asclepius hirtella), Prairie Golden Alexander (Zizea aptera), Red Anemone (Anemone multifida), and more.

Preordering will open on Monday, August 4, 2025, via the online store: store.washtenawcd.org. Paper order forms are also available by request and at the WCCD office: 705 N. Zeeb Rd., #201, Ann Arbor, MI 48103. The deadline for the paper pre- order form is September 8, and the online store closes on Sunday, September 15, 2025.
